How to know when paste event triggered in UITextView?

Question

I have been working on Rich text editor app in IOS.

My aim is to detect the triggering of a Paste event in UITextView, And prevent the default paste operation. Then, I'll convert content in the UIPasteboard to my Editor app format and append the converted nsattributedstring into UITextView.

I have referred the following link:

Detect when a user clicks the paste button in a UITextView.

I think solution of the problem is related to UITextField and not for UITextView(Correct me, If i'm wrong).

Thanks for your answers.

I think creating a custom textview and override to paste: method will help you.

- (void)paste:(id)sender
{
    [super paste:sender];

    NSLog(@"PASTE!!");
}
